What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Trillium Industrial Park or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- Bands, not ranks. Top fifth means a result among the best fifth of Ontario’s schools on that test; the card shows the average of a school’s fifths.
- Boards and systems. The board is the public body that runs a school; this province has English and French boards, each public or Catholic.
- The year. 2024-25, the latest open list.
